    A 36-year-old man with persistent spinal pain syndrome underwent spinal cord stimulation (SCS) after limited success with other treatments.

  • 2

    The patient started a structured exercise program 12 days post-SCS implantation, aiming to enhance spinal stability and function.

  • 3

    Initial findings indicate minimal risk of electrode migration when exercise follows a standardized protocol after SCS.

  • 4

    Future research should involve larger sample sizes to validate the combined effects of SCS and individualized exercise interventions.

  • 5

    The case study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing persistent spinal pain syndrome.
